What is People Also Ask (PAA)

People Also Ask is a SERP feature that displays a list of related questions users frequently search for. When clicked, each question expands to show an answer snippet and link. New questions dynamically load as users interact.

Example

Searching 'running shoes' shows PAA: 'What are the best running shoes for beginners?', 'How often should you replace running shoes?'

How to apply it

Use PAA questions as content ideas, create FAQ sections addressing these questions, use question-and-answer format in content, target long-tail question keywords.

Tip:PAA questions are gold for content planning. Each one represents real user interest and can be a section in your content or a standalone article.
